Morphology

processability = processable (transparent) = process + able + ity

Derived regularly from 'processable' by adding '-ity'; the noun names the quality/extent of being processable and is semantically predictable.

Etymology

Processability comes from the common word process, which is built from pro- 'forward' and -cess 'to go', plus -able 'can be' and -ity 'state'. So think of processability as how easily something can go through the steps people or machines use, which is why it describes how easy a language, material, or task is to handle.
